Dropout just dropped their brand new track, “Hollywood Horror” and its absolutely incredible! From the artists themselves: “This song is about the people who sacrifice more than hard work and time to get to that level of wealth. Hopefully “Hollywood Horror” will be a wake up call to the people on the precipice of giving up their identity.” The track itself combines beautifully haunting vocals with a hard-hitting drop that will definitely get you moving, with everything tying together to convey a powerful message. Stream the track on Soundcloud and Spotify now, and remember – “Stay true to who you are”.
House | Justin Jay Announces Fantastic Voyage Album By Releasing “Weatherman”
Posted by Tay on March 23, 2016
It’s not very often that we see an album from a house and techno artist, but Justin Jay is not a typical artist. The youngest dirtybird has spent the last year pushing the boundaries of his music creatively, teaming up with his college friends to incorporate live instruments and elements of blues, jazz, soul, funk, and rock into his typical house production to create a new side project, Justin Jay & Friends. He debuted Justin Jay & Friends with the release of “Karma,” which was a resounding success, and helped pave the way for Justin’s Fantastic Voyage tour.
Now, Justin Jay is putting it all together for an album – Fantastic Voyage Part 1 – and he’s just released the first track off of his magnum opus, “Weatherman.” Featuring Benny Bridges on guitar and Josh Taylor on vocals, “Weatherman” demonstrates Justin’s matured take on production and evolved stance on house music, as Benny Bridges and Josh Taylor take the lead on the track with a heavy guitar lead and smooth vocals that are more fitting for a blues track than a house record, while Justin deftly gives “Weatherman” his signature groove. As Justin explains, the Fantastic Voyage album is a release about exploration and getting out of his comfort zone. The album will be released in a unique manner, as the 12 tracks will be split across separate EPs and released on separate labels to showcase the unique, varied sound of each individual track that are all tied together by one thing – Justin Jay.

Posted by Tay on March 8, 2016
The Los Angeles-based producer, Justin Jay, is back with his first release of the year, and he’s remixed his fellow dirtybird and labelmate, Billy Kenny, and his track, “Work Me.” While Justin Jay’s remix is unlike his typical booty-bouncing house stylings, it’s nothing short of phenomenal, as he infuses the track with complex layers of jazz-y undertones and funky vibes, underlined by a chic house beat and electric guitar plucks. Justin Jay is in the middle of his Fantastic Voyage tour right now, alongside his friends and collaborators, Josh Taylor, Benny Bridges, and Henry Was, so don’t miss out when he comes to your city.
